Mycobacterium diagnoses

Have they taken a swab of the area and sent it off for culturing?
If they haven't, and they are simply loading you up with anti-biotics, it might not fix the problem. You need to know that the anti-biotics you are taking will actually treat the specific species of bacteria that is destroying the tissue.

I had friends in a shop that got Fish TB in their fingers and their doctors put them on numerous anti-biotics and it didn't make any difference. Eventually the doctors took swabs and got them onto the correct medication but it took a lot longer to treat than it should have.

Here's hoping you have a quick and full recovery.

Yes the swabs were taken...twice. I go back on the 7th for a follow up ..x

In that case, it’s most likely one of the zoonotic diseases. It’s pretty rare to get though.

Have you looked into treatment yet?

Yes I'm getting treatment
